We are a home-educating family that truly embraces life-based learning. To some, this might appear as if there’s no learning happening at all. We don’t adhere to a traditional structured curriculum; instead, we practice what many in the home education community call unschooling. But what does this really entail? What does life-based learning truly mean? Could it be a good fit for your family as well? Join us as we delve into this approach and discover how teaching a child to thrive can be as simple as living life to the fullest.

Sometimes, the simplest moments hold the deepest wisdom. Let your thoughts settle, and clarity will find you.

We are currently developing a series of insightful posts that delve into the world of home education in the UK, focusing particularly on an unstructured unschooling or life-based methodology. Join our journey as we publish a new post each week, examining how to draw educational value from ordinary, daily experiences. Through these posts, we aim to shed light on how everyday activities can become rich sources of learning and growth.

The initial entry in our series delves into the routine task of Grocery Shopping. Join us to discover ways to transform this typically tedious and monotonous weekly errand into an exciting and motivating educational experience that caters to a wide range of ages and learning preferences. Each week, we will select a new activity to explore, guiding you in uncovering the educational benefits hidden in daily life. After all, as long as we are awake and alive, we are continuously learning, regardless of how unusual that may seem.
